IMPROVEMENT IN TOBACCO-SMOKING PIPES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 36,092, dated August 5, 1862.

1'0 all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, ROBERT HENEAGE, of the city of Buffalo, county of Erie, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Tobaccol?ipe; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and the letters of reference marked thereon, in which Figure I is a side elevation of my improved pipe, and Fig. II is a longitudinal section of the same.

Like letters refer to like parts in both figures.

A is the pipe-bowl, having an upward and forward projection from its bottom, through The pipe-howl is filled with tobacco from I the top, and the opening is then tightly closed by the cover 6, so that no air can enter from the top. The tobacco is lighted at its bottom through the draft-hole b, and as this draft-hole is the only opening through which air can enter the pipe, and the suction being at the upper part and above the tobacco in the bowl the draft will be up through the tobacco, in stead of down through it, as in the commoi pipe in use. There are several advantage: gained in thus causing the draft to pass n1 through the tobacco. The oil which is former from the tobacco by the heat falls upon tlu burning tobacco and is entirely consumed, s that there is no possible chance for it to 10 drawn through the stem into the mouth of th smoker. Again, the tobacco being lighted a the bottom as it burns away, may be replen ished from the top without requiring relight ing. The chamber f is filled with cotton 01 other suitable material, which catches and ab sorbs the saliva which always enters the sten from the mouth of the smoker and runs down upon the tobacco. The cotton will also pre vent ashes, or cinders, or fine particles of to bacco being drawn into and through the stem Clean cotton may be inserted as often as neces sary by removing the plug 9.

I claimy In tobacco-pipes, placing the opening a which the tobacco is ignited at or near thi bottom of the bowl, and closing the top of the bowl with a tight cover, the whole constructor substantially as described.

ROBT, HENE AGE.
